Do you also do the ritual?

Do you also put an album to play and just sit and listen to it without doing anything.... or listen to it while you are at the computer?

Well seeing as how Music is my personal television... I much prefer to concentrate soley on music with no earthly interventions (aside fromthe occasional musical spasms) So an hour or two a day during the work week and 4ish hours a day on days off are spent completley enraptured by the music.

Most of the time I usually listen to Music on my iPod at home and driving to places (school, stores, friends, etc). At home, I try to listen to an album without any distractions as much as I can, whether that be on my iPod or my CD player. A lot of the time I search up live footage of bands on youtube and listen there.

Utterly unanal about my listening habits.  I listen at work, driving, the gym, on the computer at home, etc.  New albums get heavy rotation for about a month, sometimes I sit down and listen sometimes not. 

It reminds me of people who worship LPs and lament the loss of the sit down and listen that the format would force you into.  Oddly enough the advent of surround sound mixes is bringing back the necessity. 

I rarely get the time to listen to CDs on the speaker and doing absolutely nothing else.   I usually load them onto my IPod and listen to music during my commute.  It is not really an impediment to absorbing the music for me.  Yes, if I was working on the computer and trying to listen, I wouldn't be able to concentrate on both and I usually don't listen to a new album like that.

I do the ritual, especialy i love to put on a good album, weekend mornings, sit in my best chair, and just listen.

I generally sit and listen while I internet, if I listen without doing anything else I generally get too fidgety and can't enjoy the music.

I'm always on the computer, even when I watch movies or read books.

I'm often listening music when doing something else - working on a computer, cooking, driving my car, etc.

However, if I dedicate myself to listening, I can't be still and sitting down. I'm standing. Often walking around the room. I dunno why. I feel like I'm perceiving music better.
